If you're going 7mm, you might as well go classic with a 7x57

7.65x53 Argentine. You'll be the only one on your block with one.

If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

7.65 x 53 Mauser or 7.65 x 53 Belgian or 7.65 x 53 Argentine are all good, actually. Grin. I don't know where Missouri is, I've heard there is one...but you might have the only 7.65 in the county.

Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I definitely know what I'd make it into... my favorite cartridge; 6.5 x 57...It would be all the better in a nice shaped Mauser Action on something like
an Argentine 1909 Mauser.

9.3X62
If you want to open the bolt face, extractor and feed lips :
264 Win Mag
7MM Rem Mag
308 Norma Mag
300 Win Mag
338 Mag.
9.3X64 ----- If you can get about 200 pieces of brass first
416 Taylor
458 Win
If you want to do the above and also lengthen the mag box, lap the bolt back to the point the 3rd leg bears, and re-cut the feed ramp a bit too

How about 7x64 Brenneke or 318 Westley Richards?
I picked up a nice 1909 action here several years ago with the idea of using it for a 9.3x64 but a few things caused me to reexamine. (Hope to still do that but with a different set up.)
Leaning toward the 318 WR; it is "cool" personified, imo and no modifications needed.
I'm becoming more tolerant of intolerant people.

No one mentioned the "original" .280, the 7X64 Brenneke?

I like the .280 idea that’s never a bad choice. What do you have already? Any “holes” in yer cabinet? 9.3x62 make a mini express rifle..... barrel band, express sights, ebony tip, Rigby style This to me is what a Argentine 98 screams for. I’d love to do one this way.
